Overgeared

0 user’s strength stat had 0.4 attack power, 9 health points and a weight limit increased of 50 with every point.

In this way, the effect of the stats increased every 100 levels.
This was called the stats awakening.
The sum of the level 275 Grid’s stats were currently higher than the stats of the level 300 Overgeared members.
Looking at the total number of stats, Grid’s level was nearly 380.

He went through a process called minus level, obtained special titles, and produced countless items.
What if Grid reached level 300 and received the third stats awakening?

‘The difference between our passive skills only applies for now.’

The source of Grid’s power was his overwhelming stats.
Grid was more familiar with this than anyone else, so he didn’t have to be nervous about the growth of others.

‘If I complete the Grid set then…’

He was the strongest.

“Huhuhu…”

‘Why all of a sudden?’

Grid smiled and Lauel felt a shiver.
It was like encountering a monster on the level of a demonkin.
Then Huroi shouted.

“My Lord! Seven basilisks are present 800 meters to the south!”

The Overgeared members were nervous.

“Seven basilisks?”

“We should bypass them.”

The respawn rate of the western monsters was unusually fast.
If a battle lasted for an extended period of time in one place, they would end up surrounded by monsters.
The basilisk was one of the strongest monsters in the west, so it was obvious they would face a crisis if they had to fight seven of them.

“There is a small mountain to the west.
It might delay our journey, but we can bypass the monsters.”

“I don’t want to.” Grid ignored Lauel’s advice and grabbed Failure.
“I haven’t hunted in 131 days.
I will use this opportunity to increase my experience.”

The desert was a harsh terrain.
Every time they moved, their feet sank into the sand, severely limiting their movements.
The Overgeared members were experts in combat and already adapted to the desert terrain, but what about Grid?

The Overgeared members were worried.
Grid’s dull movements and lack of combat sense meant it was impossible for him to exert his full power in the desert.
So they were going to move first to clear any monsters they encountered on the journey to their destination.

But what was the truth?

Jebeok jebeok.

Grid was armed with heavy boots and walked in the desert like it was a plains area.
He even sped up and ran.
This was due to the thorough education from Piaro.

“Huh…?”

“What has gotten into Grid…?”

The Overgeared members doubted their eyes.

Kiyaaak!

A basilisk noticed a human running over and opened its mouth.
Then the light of petrification that also caused great damage flashed.
It was a skill that was hard to respond to because the range of the light was wide and fast.

The Overgeared members were sure that Grid would suffer great damage.
Grid lacked control skills, so he was always hit by monsters.
They thought it would be the same again this time.
However.

“Have I only fought you once or twice?”

Grid had moved to Reidan from Patrian.
Grid had been taught by Piaro and killed numerous basilisks, so he already predicted this.
He was able to accurately estimate the timing of the flash and fired Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Wave to offset it.
Then he approached the basilisk that was slowed, used Blacksmith’s Rage and stabbed the basilisk in its weak eyes.

Kiyaaaaaah!

The basilisk struggled from the pain.
Suddenly, the six other basilisks surrounded Grid and swung their tails.

“My Lord!”

“Grid!”

The Overgeared members paled.
If the six basilisks attacked at the same time, Grid would definitely die.
But Grid was already in the rear.
He avoided four tails flying from the front, and defended against the other tails using the pavranium.

Jjeejeeeong!

Kieek?

The basilisks were confused at the appearance of the golden blades that blocked their attacks.
They felt danger.
It was because they saw the black eyes of the human in the gap between the golden blades, looking at them like they were prey.

One of the top predators of the desert was prey? This human was dangerous.
The basilisks were instinctively engulfed in fear.

“First one.”

Grid stepped forward towards the basilisk that he had attacked first.

Teong!

The heavy weight of Grid’s boots made the desert sand run loose.
Then Grid’s greatsword, which had a different power than before, struck the basilisk’s wounded eyes.
This wasn’t the end.
Grid evaded the basilisk’s subsequent counterattack and triggered Pagma’s Swordsmanship.

The sword followed the movements while he evaded.

“Kill.”

Peeeeeong!

The blue greatsword reminiscent of an ocean predator penetrated the skull of the basilisk.

Kuwaaah!

One of the seven basilisks instantly turned into a grey light.
The Overgeared members couldn’t close their mouths as they watched.

“Is that Grid?”

The control skills that Grid used at this moment weren’t particularly outstanding.
Anyone who played the game could show such movements.
But who was Grid? He was mocked by everyone for having poor control skills.
This person who wasn’t talented was taught the skills.

He overcame the weakness in himself.

‘Has Grid always been working where we couldn’t see him?’

‘How much effort did he put in?’

‘This is truly my lord! I am proud!’

“No, aren’t you going to help me? Aaaaack!”

“…”

While the Overgeared members were feeling thrilled, Grid was becoming bloody due to the other six basilisks.
The party window showed that his health gauge was exponentially dropping.
The Overgeared members freaked out as they saw it and hurriedly moved to save him.

On the other hand, Piaro observed Grid’s battle from beginning to end and clicked his tongue.

“Really, there are no signs of improvement.”

Vantner heard Piaro’s voice and shook his head.

‘This farmer isn’t sane either.’
